Volcano eruption in Spain and the tsunami in Brazil | Showmetech TRIO

In this Monday's news compilation, September 27, 2021, the Showmetech TRIO will talk about the volcano Old Summit, which erupted this week, and what is the relationship between this phenomenon and the remote possibility of a tsunami in Brazil. The separation of the entrepreneur Elon Musk with the singer Grimes, which lasted three years and a child. And finally, we will also talk about how a hamster gave a lot to talk about in the world of cryptocurrencies. Check out!

Eruption of Cumbre Vieja volcano

Starting volcanic activities on September 19, 2021, the volcano Old Summit, which is located in La Palma, an island that is part of the Canary Islands, the Spain, scared the local population and the whole world — especially Brazil. On this day, the volcano erupted and caused some confusion on the Island, leaving the population without energy and without the possibility of flights, whether to enter the Island or leave it, as the phenomenon ended up taking a lot of ash to the skies, making air traffic difficult.

A ferry operator that works connecting some of the islands, the Fred Olsen Express, ended up adding an extra round trip between the islands La Palma e Tenerife, trying to minimize the impacts of the eruption and offering residents and some visitors the opportunity to take shelter on the neighboring island, which still has electricity. Nearby cities had to be evacuated, accounting for about 5500 people evacuated, including residents and tourists.

Tsunami in Brazil?

Despite the scare, in short, the news is good. There were no reports of fatalities or serious injuries, as well as the island La Palma did not issue any warning note to neighboring countries at risk of tsunamis. Scholars say that the phenomenon, as harmless as it may be, can be considered a warning for possible more intense activities, which can even cause tsunamis in some countries, such as Brazil, which reported across the country recently about this possible - and remote — chance of a tsunami hitting the national coast. Bearing in mind that a few centuries ago, in 1755, Brazil was the victim of a giant wave in a very rare geological event.

Elon Musk and Grimes Breakup

The iconic celebrity couple formed by the businessman Elon Musk and singer Claire Boucher, better known as Grimes, came to an end. They met on Twitter in 2018 over a joke about artificial intelligence, and declared the relationship ended mainly for work — in Musk's words, a "semi-breakup", in fact. Musk and Grimes had a lot in common when it came to creativity and forward thinking, not to mention the son they had last year.

In January 2020, Grimes tweeted a photo with a big belly, and despite speculation of pregnancy, nothing was immediately confirmed. The following month, the singer spoke out saying that yes, she really was pregnant with her partner. Some time later, Elon Musk published a photo holding the newborn saying that mom and baby were already fine. Another person asked what the name would be and the businessman replied: “X Æ A-12 Musk“. However, because of California law, they had to change the name, so it was: “X Æ A-Xii", or simply "X".

At the end of last year, Elon Musk had to move to Texas, as he would be closer to his work, facilitating his contributions to the Tesla and SpaceX. Despite the singer having accompanied Elon Musk on the move, it ended up putting an end to their relationship, and the Tesla CEO claims that, despite everything, both still love each other and have the “baby X” as an affirmation of the bond that both have. Elon Musk also said that Grimes still shares the house with him and his son.

A curious fact about the couple was when Elon Musk and Grimes changed their avatars from Twitter, each with an anime photo complementing the other. Despite the end of the relationship, they were quite a pop couple, right?

Mr. Goxx and cryptocurrencies

In Germany, the case of a hamster and its unknown owner is causing a stir in the cryptocurrency market. Known as "Mr. goxx“, the hamster works daily buying and selling cryptocurrencies, not in front of a computer, as anyone else would, but rather in and out of “decisive tubes”. These tubes are named “buy"and "sell", and according to the tube by which Mr. Goxx passes, trades are carried out.

Despite being very unusual news, the method has proved to be quite effective for the owner — and, of course, for the hamster, since the income in relation to the market itself Bitcoin and NASDAQ turned out to be bigger. Despite everything, the owner of this star claims that the hamster's tips should not be taken into account as a real financial indication, stating that it is just a joke.

We also remember that Mr. goxx also has a channel na Twitch, where he broadcasts his work to those who ended up getting curious about this peculiar little animal doing cryptocurrency trading. Not to mention he's so cute, right?
